• Food Coloring. If you want to avoid food dyes, use a natural or plant based dye. You can find them on Amazon or in stores like Whole Foods. Use what works for your budget and lifestyle.
• Milk. You really can use any type of milk that you like for this. Just know that the more fat in the milk the creamier and richer your hot chocolate is going to be. If you want a coffee shop style hot chocolate you are going to want to opt for whole milk.
